Paul
The accommodation was comfortable and clean with everything you could need and more. The owner was very helpful showing is around the cottage on arrival and pointing out local walks and free parking places in town. A very good location to visit the local area but far enough away to be chilled out and quiet in the evenings. We will be back.

It sits just a mile or two from the center of Colwyn Bay, but it feels like another world entirely. It is a proper rural idyll that feels tucked away from everything despite being so close to amenities. The cottage itself is incredibly well-maintained. You often worry about rental kitchens being sparse, but the level of equipment here was high, and everything felt well-maintained. The host, Janet, deserves a mention too, as she was very friendly and accommodating for the various requests I had during the stay. Getting there involves the single-track Nant y Glyn road, which is an experience in itself. I personally enjoyed the grey matter stimulation of finding canny ways to pass oncoming vehicles. It adds to the sense of being in a remote place. Overall, this is a solid choice if you want that deep countryside feel without actually being far from town.
